OUR ASSET:
PRAGMATISM
More and more cases go to the courtrooms. Litigation accounts for an important part of our activity and we obtain excellent results. That being said, such proceedings are still time-consuming, costly and uncertain. In this context, our key priority is to contemplate the potential for negotiated agreements; we assist our clients in each and every steps towards negotiation and amicable dispute resolution.
​
We are committed to inter-company mediation. Christophe Adrien was qualified in 2011 by the CMAP (Center for Mediation and Arbitration of Paris) to negotiation and mediation techniques. Carine Duongkeaw, associate, followed the same training in 2018. Our firm is then well prepared to assist our clients in all phases of contractual or legal mediation.
​
We are convinced that those alternative means of resolving disputes will develop more over the coming years. We want to go with you towards these effective solutions.
INTERNATIONAL
We are involved in cases abroad and we have a network of renowned local counsels, thanks to our involvement in "The Federation of Defense & Corporate Counsel" (FDCC), a US organization comprising the best specialists in insurance and business risks in many countries.
On the US territory, we work with the offices of Butler Legal in Chicago, managed by Clark Schirle, with whom we have established a close and long-standing relationship of trust.
